Thanks for all the comments! This was a 15 sec exposure of an unlighted candle with a small light behind it for illumination. I then quickly "drew" each trail with a small yellow light, turned it on at the candle, off at the coin. A second momentary "dab" at each coin to blend. More then a few attempts to get it balanced!
wow interesting. Not sure how you got the candle to do that. My eyes seem to wander around not necessarily focusing on the yellow, maybe I'm just slow and I can't really pick out what the heck is going on...Interesting subject choice, composition is fairly good, and it meets the challenge.
I'm at a loss as to how you accomplished this shot. Artistically very intriguing. Will be eagerly awaiting your comments on this photo, and your setup.
Returning for a revisit. This is truly remarkable. bumping up to 9.
Very nice effect. Look forward to reading about your setup. Aesthetically, the composition is very pleasing but the burnt out pixels in the center and the fuzziness of the light traces trouble me somewhat. It is also cropped a little tight especially for framing. An 8.
